EXHIBITION
Stanley Prowler: Brazil, Spain, & Portugal
Wednesday, April 14 through Friday, June 4
Online
This collection consists of over 6,000 transparencies by the late architect Stanley Prowler. For over five decades beginning in the 1940s, Prowler traveled extensively in the U.S. and abroad, documenting architecture throughout South America, Europe, and Asia. Using medium format and 35mm cameras with an architect’s eye, Prowler captured the essence of the sites and built environments he visited. After each trip he held gatherings at his apartment where he presented his photographs accompanied by insightful observations and details about the people and places he encountered. Following his death, Prowler’s collection of travel photographs was donated to The International Center, where he served as a board member, and in 2006 the Center donated the collection to the Architecture Archive. Prowler’s photographs of Brazil in the late 1970s, and Spain and Portugal in the mid-1980s, shown here online, were originally curated by Patrick McElnea and presented in the Third Floor Hallway Gallery in 2013 and 2014 respectively.

CURRENT WORK
Toyo Ito: Rethinking Architecture from Modernism
Thursday, June 17
Zoom | 7:00PM
Ito's lecture will focus on rethinking what he describes as the "Modernist ideology" that has encouraged "the massive development of cities along with the global economic system." Noting the recent "time-out" imposed by the Covid-19 virus, he asks, "Will the society that is metropolitan-oriented change? Or will we return to where we were?"
Toyo Ito founded his Tokyo-based office in 1971. Among the firm’s main works in Japan are Sendai Mediatheque and Tama Art University Library, Hachioji Campus. His international projects include the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion (UK), Torres Porta Fira (Spain), Museo Internacional del Barroco (Mexico), and National Taiwan University, College of Social Sciences (Taiwan).
The lecture will be followed by a conversation and Q&A moderated by architect Toshiko Mori, founder of New York-based Toshiko Mori Architect, Robert P. Hubbard Professor in the Practice of Architecture at Harvard University GSD, and co-founder of VisionArc. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and recently received the AIA/ACSA Topaz Medallion for Excellence in Architectural Education.
This lecture has been approved to offer 1.5 AIA and New York State CEUs.
This event is co-sponsored by The Architectural League of New York and the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture.
This event is free and accessible to the public. You may register here.

SUMMER PROGRAM
Introduction to Architecture Online
Enrollment Deadline: Monday, June 14
In light of the spread of COVID-10 in New York City, The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of The Cooper Union announces our upcoming summer intensive program that features a virtual curriculum accessible to high school and college students worldwide. As an institution that is committed to the pursuit of excellence and learning, we view our current circumstances as an opportunity to advance our thinking through radical experimentation between various forms of online engagement, digital interface, virtual modeling and representation techniques. The pleasure of making and experimentation are fundamental to our discovery of architecture and the innovation of the discipline, as well as a deeply thoughtful form of social and cultural dialogue where the imaginary becomes possible.
Applications are currently open and all potential students are encouraged to apply early.
You may watch our public Live Information Session to get an overview of the program's curriculum, pedagogy, and focus for this year. The video features examples of former participants' work and presentations by faculty and staff.
